Game Ball

Tonight, we had a baseball game scheduled, but the weather reports anticipated severe rain and storms.  Jeff and I both expected the game to be cancelled and I even made dinner plans.  We watched our phones and e-mails all day for the "game is cancelled" message, but it never came.  Around 6:30, we received, "game is still on" message from coach, so we cancelled our dinner plans and headed to the field expecting to get rained on very soon. 
With 7 out of 10 players, we hit the field ready to play against the braves!  We were up to bat first and our team got off to a great start.  Aiden even got a hit and got on first!  We were so excited.  The stands were bare (3 moms) but we cheered loud because our team was playing so well!  The Pirates scored multiple runs, and played great defense too.  Aiden got another hit in the second inning that scored two runners for our team.  Unfortunately, he got out as he ran home.  The weather turned dark and cloudy, but the rain held off for us to play a whole game; and a great game at that!  The Pirates pulled out our first win 9-5!
At our post game huddle, the coaches talked it over and decided the game ball should to go to none other than our AJ for his 2 hits!  He took the ball from the coach and walked to my side. (too much attention on him).  Because of the expected rain, I didn't bring my camera, but this is a game I'll never forget.  It was such a great feeling watching him run the bases with a smile on his face.
We went to Truetts for ice cream to celebrate afterwards!  Way to go AJ!
